Owner seeks vacation of unused alley beside 4455 North Airport Road

Scott Greer said he and his partners recently bought property at 4455 North Airport Road in Fun City, Indiana, and urged officials to approve a petition to vacate an unmapped alley and associated utilities so the parcel can be developed. "What we're trying to do is develop the property we recently purchased," Greer said, adding that vacating the alley would provide "a lot more flexibility."

Greer told the group that he has discussed options with a local builder and with staff and that setbacks for a ditch and existing utilities could constrain layout: a shared sewer may run through the middle of the parcel, and electric service ("hydro") is at the property's edge. He said the mapped alley is not used, has no limestone or markings, and that a functional fire hydrant sits near where the alley would run on the north side of the lot.

A meeting participant outlined the procedural steps to vacate an alley: the petitioner must obtain a survey and file it. An unidentified speaker then moved to "approve the petition to vacate the alley" tied in discussion to parcel number 92-06-11 (also referenced in the discussion as 501-316.901-004); another unidentified speaker seconded the motion. The meeting record states the outcome as unanimous but does not list individual vote tallies.

The next procedural step discussed was scheduling and coordination with staff; Greer and meeting participants mentioned possible January meeting dates to follow up. The record does not include an ordinance number, staff report, or a final recorded roll-call tally in the transcript excerpts provided.
